Our 13 year old Grant had PFD with craniotomy and cervical fusion of c-1 and c-2 at the University of Iowa In Iowa City on March 31st. We are 3 months out and his headaches are significantly better. He is wearing a Manerva Brace 24 hours a day and has tolerated this well. His reflux is so much better and his food doesn't stick in his throat any more. He was dx with chiari one malformation last year. Will be wearing this brace until at least October. Thanks for this forum. I am happy to post positive news. God Bless. Toni
